The SF's are super opaque if you don't blend them out. You can definitely achieve a true-to-pan robot-woman look

All 3 Extra Dimension Highlighters

ED e/s in:

Sweet Heat
Modern Pewter
Grand Galaxy
Young Venus
Rich Core
Havana

Will check out the other 3 e/s in person. And thank goodness I already have the 2 brushes released with this collection.

Three collections at once was just too much! LOL!

Alll right. This is definitely the collection of this triad release that is taking the most of my money!

I'm getting all three EDSF, as well as Blue Orbit and Warm Thunder. I wanted to like the other colors but some of the darker ones seemed similar to what I already own or they were too pigmented and I don't think I could be light-handed with applying them. I really liked Sweet Heat, but I have so many neutral shades in matte, shimmer and glitter finishes that I decided to skip it.

The MUA that was helping me with my pre-order had a color from one of the eyeshadow duos from Reel Sexy paired with Glorify EDSF, used as an eyeshadow. She also had Glorify on her cheeks and it looked so super pretty. Having it as an option for an eyeshadow, and just the texture of these alone made me just go broke or go home with all three. I think with a duo-fibre they would be totally easy to build up, and once I even buffed out Glorify on my arm it gave a complimentary sheen that wasn't bronzy or like I had been hanging at spray tan salon, lol.

I feel exactly the same, plus i don`t want any other shadows, unless i see something really special ( i have over 100 mac es plus other brands, every color shade is covered i don` feel like i `m missing something) still is still fun to read the threads, u never know when u discover a hidden make-up gem
Im thinking about passing on the eyeshadows . . . I feel like im on eyeshadow overload!

Those are really gorgeous as well. The texture of these is really amazing, they glide on so smoothly and there is not an ounce of powder feel or caked-on liquidy feel, either. It's very light feeling and they are so easy to apply.

I initially liked Superb and went with that, but the glow achieved with Whisper of Gilt is hard for me to ignore. They're two totally different products, but I agree with Mac-Guy when he said earlier that the best thing you can do with these is to pair them with your undertones. If you have yellow undertones, go with Whisper of Gilt. If you have pink undertones, go with Superb. For my taste, and because my skin is more neutral and pasty white, I generally pair skin finishes and highlighters of different tones to match the color scheme of my FOTD, so I enjoy that the three will allow me versatility and a range of colors.

I just spent two hours with my head on my desk trying to figure out to the penny the most I can get for my little money stash I saved up for this. My DH and family have been staring at me like I am crazy.

Maybe I am.

I'm with you girl! I want so much from every collection, but I'm getting much more picky.
At least you grabbed a few things to try!
I'll probably end up with at least 1 more SF and another shadow or 2 or ALL! Ahhhh!
Let us know how you like your goodies!
